Hi, I'm using the scratchbox to test my PyQt4 app before moving it to the n900.
I couldn't find a way to use some of the n900 built-in functionalities inside the scratchbox, for example:
- Simulate a phone call
- Simulate accelerometers changes, like rotate or shake the device

- Install packages from extras/extras-devel

Can you refer me to where can I find D-Bus uses?

Ha... Haha... you're funny. 
um... at the moment? Some of it's documented on the development wiki, but you'll probably have to poke through some header files at the source code x-ref @ mxr.maemo.org for some of it. I haven't checked the dev wiki recently, but last I saw, it was lacking in depth mostly, and breadth to some extent as well. If you have specific D-Bus calls that you're looking for, and can't find them, I or someone else may be able to tell you off the top of our heads.

Actually I have no idea of any D-Bus usage, I'm new to linux and all I know is that D-Bus is a message bus system for inter process communication, and it must operate on an instance. I guess is should be similar to RPC?...
Any chance to a code example in Python? (Hope I'm not being funny again)

To put it briefly, D-Bus is typically used with a "bus", or hub, that all messages go through (you can route them directly, but it's discouraged), and which services can be registered on. You can send messages to another app that is on the bus, or you can send out signals, which other apps can opt to receive.
Well thank you I do my best to entertain

That first link is about as good as it gets I think. The other two were just examples off the first one.

Can these things be done in the scratchbox?
